Army List Special rules

Tau

All units with this special rule are treated to have the

following abilities

• Are the only units to fill Compulsory Force

Organisation Chart Slots

• Are able to use Markerlight hits

• Non-Vehicle units are affected by the presence of

any Ethereal on the board.

• When assaulted, a Tau non-vehicle unit may make a

single shooting attack before engaging in combat

(They count as having moved).

These shooting attacks are always at -1 BS, regardless of

the Tau’s rank, and only one shot from one weapon

may be fired.

Casualties count towards combat resolution.

Commander

At Least one HQ choice must have this special rule

Independent Character

All models with the Independent Character Universal

Special Rule follows the rules as described in the

Warhammer 40,000 rulebook, with the following

exception.

Models in XV armour may not join units not equipped

with XV armour. Inversely, an Independent character

not equipped with XV armour may not join a unit

equipped with XV armour.

Kor’Ka

If a model with this Special Rule Deep Strikes, it may

choose to Deep Strike directly into an enemy unit.

When they do so, they immediately inflict a single

Strength 5, Power Weapon attack per member of

the Squad. The unit is then locked in combat and is

treated as if it had assaulted the enemy unit in the

players turn.

Disruptors

All shooting from a unit with this special rule causes a

pinning check, unless the firing unit is in open

terrain.

Inspirational figure

Any Tau unit with a model within 24”, and Line of Sight,

is Stubborn

Dreaded Fall

When a model with this rule dies, all units with the Tau

rule on the table must take a leadership test or fall

back. For all subsequent turns after this, all units

with the Tau rule (who were on the table at the

time) fire an additional shot with their weapons.

Heavy Weapons are unaffected

The Ethereal’s model is left on the board, and counts as

another objective.

Battlefield Sermons

Any Tau unit with a model within 12”, and Line of Sight,

is Stubborn

Feared Death

When a model with this rule dies, all units with the Tau

rule within 18" must take a leadership test or fall

back.

The Ethereal’s model is left on the board, and counts as

another objective, in objective games.

Guardsmen

Any Imperial Player units (IG, SM, BA, SW, DA, BT, Witch

Hunters, Daemon Hunters), gain the Preferred

Enemy special rule when in combat against a squad

with this special rule.

Deep Infiltration

A unit with this special rule is always held in Reserve.

Before the game starts, after deployment, select a

single piece of terrain in the enemy deployment

zone, and make a note of it. Keep it secret from your

opponent. It cannot be occupied by an enemy unit.

When the unit becomes available, they are

automatically deployed at the piece of terrain.

If an enemy unit occupies the terrain feature when the

unit is deployed, they are considered to have

“disappeared” within the terrain, and are removed

from the table. However, the Deep Infiltrating unit

takes an Instant Death causing wound on each

model, with saves allowed.

However, if the enemy deploys his forces into all terrain

features in their own deployment zone, the unit with

this rule follows the normal rules for Infiltrating.

Ambush

Gun Drones are so incredibly quite that they can bypass

enemy lines without so much as disturbing dust.

A unit of Gun Drones arriving via “Ambush” must be

declared to the opponent during set-up, and will

always be kept in reserve.

When the unit becomes available, set the squad up

anywhere on the board, within 6” of a terrain

feature, and further then 6” from an Enemy unit

They may Shoot and Run as normal, but may not move

or Assault on the turn they arrive.

Supersonic

A model with this rule may move Flat-out 36”.

Interceptor

Skimmers cannot claim the cover save granted due to

moving Flat-out against shots fired by a model with

this rule.

Similarly, Bikes and Jetbikes cannot claim the cover save

gained due to Turbo-boosting.

Advanced Targeting

A model with this rule, unless it moved Flat-out, may

always fire all its weapons.

Skilled Flyers

Vespid can choose to count as either Jump Infantry, or

Jet Pack Jump Infantry.

This choice must be made clear to the opponent, before

any moves are made.

Kroot

This is treated as the following Special rules

• Move through Cover

• Acute Senses

• Infiltrate

• Are always considered to have two close combat

weapons

Master Shaper

• Kroot Kindreds may now fill compulsory FOC slots.

(This supersedes the Tau special rule)

• All close combat attacks made by the Master Shaper

are Rending

• Multiples of each Kindred may be selected, and are

reassigned to other Force Organisation Chart Slots as

follows:

Hunters - Troops

Stalkers - Elites

Headhunters - Elites

Trackers - Fast Attack

Hound Packs - Fast Attack

Vultures - Fast Attack

Shaman Power

The Shaman is treated as a Psyker, and he has the

following powers. They may only be used on Kroot

units

Instinct

The Shaman Triggers an almost animal instinct for

survival in the Kroot.

They have a 4+ Invulnerable Save in close combat

Eagle Eyes

With precise movements and psychic focus, the Shaman

awakens the natural hunting avian ability, increasing

the Kroots vision.

In the shooting phase, the squad always rolls to hit on a

3+

Solo Elite

Predator Kroot Kindreds are a rare site to see on the

battlefield, even among a Kroot Warband. Only one

squad of Predator Kindred may be used, ever,

regardless of scenario special rules.

Each member Predator Kroot Kindred is also treated as

a one man unit, as they take pride in their craft, and

prefer not to be accused of copying each other.

Wargear Infantry class Weapons

Pulse Weapons

Pulse Weapons are the basic equipment given to Fire

Warriors. Using an Induction Field to propel a particle,

which reacts by breaking down, to create a plasma pulse

as it leaves the barrel.

The newly invented Carbine Grenade allows squads to target

larger, and grouped together units. It relies more on the

strength of the blast, then the armour penetration. (A

pulse Carbine may be fired in either mode, but never both

in the same shooting phase)

Weapon Range Str AP Type

Pulse Rifle 30” 5 5 Heavy 2

Pulse Carbine 18” 5 5 Assault 2

Carbine Grenade 12” 5 - Assault 1,

Rail Rifle

A Rail Rifle uses similar technology as to the Railgun.


Rail Rifle 36” 6 3 Heavy 1,

Las-Weapons

Las-Weapons are common to former Imperial worlds. Easy to

build and maintain, they are only ever used by Tau guard.


Laspistol 12” 3 - Pistol

Lasgun 24” 3 - Rapid Fire

Kroot Weapons

Kroot use primitive slug throwers. Being highly skilled, they

can also use a rifle in combat. The Hunting Rifle has a

higher strength round. The Chem Rifle has slugs which

contained highly volatile poisons and chemicals

The Kroot Gun has two profiles. When stationary, it may

fire two shots up to 48”, when moving it may only fire

one shot up to 12”.

Neutron Blaster

A Neutron Blaster is a hybrid of both Tau and Vespid

technology. A small crystal mounted at the guns tip,

creates a Neutron blast when fired


Neutron Blaster 18” 5 3 Assault 2

Neutron Rifle

I modified Nuetron Blaster, often rebuilt by the Vespid who

owns it. It is almost identical to the Blaster, but has

increased range, and induces a faster transference of

energy when a shot hits.


Neutron Rifle 24” 6 3 Assault 2

Drones Drones used in units, always have the same Toughness and Save as the model they follow (Shown by using X as a value)

This does not apply to the Gun Drone and Heavy gun Drone squadrons which are independent of a Drone Controller,

and so will have their own Toughness and Save values.

Drone Controller

Allows the user to control up to two Drones (of any type)

If the controller is killed, any, and all, remaining drones must

be taken off as casualties also.

This save is conferred to the whole unit, including any

Independent characters that join it.

Marker Drone


Marker Drone 2 3 3 X 1 4 1 7 X

Is equipped with a Markerlight, and Target Lock

Battlesuit class Weapons

Dual Point Weapons

Some weapons have the “Dual Point” weapon type, and are usually only equipped to XV Battlesuits. This means they require two

points to connect to the Battlesuit, and use much more power to fire.

A model with a Dual Point weapon may not fire any other weapons in the same turn, but is otherwise unaffected.

Burst Cannon

Burst Cannon utilises plasma induction technology, similarly

found in Pulse weapons. It is a multi-barrel weapon, allowing

it to sustain high rates of firepower.


Burst Cannon 18” 5 5 Assault 4

Firestorm Cannons

This is a pair of specially modified Burst cannons.


Firestorm

Cannon 24” 5 5 Assault 10

Tau Flamer

The humble Flamer is extremely useful against tightly packed

and low-armoured opponents.


Tau Flamer Template 5 5 Assault 1

Ion Disruptor

Using a stable Ion radiation source, the Ion Disruptor can get

through nearly all armour.


Ion Disruptor 36” 6 3

Assault 3,

Rending, Dual

Point

Ion Blaster

The Ion Blaster has a lower power level, compared to the

Disruptor. It does however maintain a slightly higher rate of

fire.


Ion Blaster 24” 5 3 Assault 4

Helios Rifle

The Helios Rifle is a much larger variant of the Fusion Blaster.

It is designed for greater range and rate of fire; however it

cannot be combined with smaller weapons due to its

incredible energy consumption.


Helios Blaster 24” 8 1

Assault 3,

Melta, Dual

Point

Fusion Blaster

The primary role of the Fusion Blaster is Anti-Tank. No small

wonder that Crisis teams devoted to Tank-Hunting have

become true adepts at stalking enemy armour.


Fusion Blaster 12” 8 1 Assault 1,

Melta

Plasma Rifle

Foregoing the raw stopping power that the Gue’la and other

races use with their plasma technology, The Tau have made

this technology safe, but still quite as deadly.


Plasma Rifle 24” 6 2 Assault 2

Smart Missile System

Smart Missile Systems do not require Line of Sight to target.

The target does however still receive cover saves. It is also

unaffected by Night Fighting


Smart Missile 24” 5 5 Heavy 4

Missile Pods

Missile Pods are primarily used to take out lightly armour

vehicles, or medium armour troops.


Missile Pods 36” 7 4 Assault 2

Deathrain Pods

Deathrain Pods are larger cousins of the Missile Pod. Able to

fire a larger salvo, they can be quite fearsome to those at the

receiving end.


Deathrain

Pods 36” 6 4

Assault 4,

Blast, Pinning

Broadside Railgun


Railgun 60” 10 1 Heavy 1, Dual

Plasma Lance

The Plasma Lance is an astonishing piece of Wargear. When

aimed correctly, it can pierce enemy armour like tissue paper.


Plasma Lance 48” 7 3 Assault 2,

Dual Point

When rolling to hit with this weapon if a roll of 6 is scored,

the weapon counts as a Lance Weapon.

Tank-hunter Rifle

If the Railgun is equivalent to a Pulse Rifle, the Tank-

Hunter Rifle would be equivalent to a Pulse Carbine. It

sacrifices range and penetration power, for a higher

rate of fire. It is often carried onto the battlefield by

trusted Broadside Shas’Vre, or more Mont’ka focussed

Commanders.


Tank-Hunter

Rifle 36” 9 2 Heavy 3

Wapr-rift Generator

The Warp-Rift Generator is the result of the Tau experiments

with Warp Travel. They discovered that the smaller the

opening created, the easier it became to send a subject

through.


Warp-Rift

Generator 18” 8 5

Assault 1,

Blast, Pinning,

Dual Point

Hits caused by a Warp-Rift Generator roll to wound against

the targets Ld, and only invulnerable saves may be. Thus the

AP negates invulnerable saves 5+ or worse. If a model has no

invulnerable save to take, they are removed from the table

automatically.

As Tau are not psychically inclined, the Blast scatters the full

2D6” distance.

Kindreds “Kindreds” is the name given to the sects of Kroot warbands, who specialise in different fields of combat and hunting.

Trackers

All upgraded members of the unit become Cavalry

Stalkers

All members of the unit replace their Stealth USR, with the

Stalker special rule.

Stalker – models gain +2 to their cover save, when in cover.

Kroot Shotgun), with a Kroot Hunting rifle.

The Shaper also has a Hunting Rifle, but still may still replace

it with a Pulse Rifle or Carbine.

When a Tau unit targets a “Marked” enemy unit they may expend tokens to gain each of the following bonuses. The bonuses are

cumulative.

• Call a seeker missile from a vehicle, resolved at BS 5. For

the purposes of Cover, and Armour Facings, make a line

from the vehicle to the target. No Line of Site is required.

• Increase the BS of the Tau unit by +1. This can be done to

a maximum of BS 5

• Reduce the “Marked” units cover save by -1. This can

negate a cover save entirely.

• Reduce the “Marked” units Ld by -1. To a minimum of 5.

• Allow the Tau unit to ignore the Night Fighting rule.

• A single Marker Token may be expended to allowing the

Tau unit to target an Independent Character.
